[Verse 1]
Here's all I wanna say
What in the world does it take to put that gun up to your face, and pull the trigger that way?
And not even leave a note
No goodbye, no verse
Like a man without a name
Like a man who's cursed
Look, my greatest moment wasn't given to me
I take the pain, it ain't nothing but a thang to me
And best believe that I match it with rhymes of reaction
So I can resurrect you every time I speak
Yeah there was a time when you and I were in the same place
But I went at it full blast, put on my game face
This didn't happen for nothin I'm gonna raise hell
It turned a negative positive, a common phase
Well thanks for puttin me on track with that derail
I hear your spirit calling like the ocean and sea shells
Enough time spent wondering why
God bless the rhythm in the thundering sky
[Hook]
I'm hot with god if I see him soon
I rock the garden till the beat's in bloom
I got problems too but I [wrote/rode] on through
Maybe I can do what you couldn't do
I go hard for heart with the tried and true
I'll starve and start and I will not lose
My worst moment couldn't dig my grave
So I'm gonna make this one my greatest
[Verse 2]
I got a friend who can't get right
Putting that powder up his nose
By the gram each and every night
Ain't got a care in the world though even as a youngster
Parents just let him do whatever that he wants to
Robbin and jackin the elderly
While he tellin' me "Boy, I ain't worried bout a felony"
Government cheese, or deadly disease
I'm quick at the knees, ain't nobody ever gonna catch me
But that was back in '97
He never went to jail, but he made his way to heaven
Wish he coulda changed
Wasn't nothin I could tell em
Bullsh** I couldn't sell him
God'll take you if you let him
Needle to the arm, belly to the floor
More money, more problems knockin at his front door
Naw this is not a game, this is real hardcore
Couldn't take it anymore, take it anymore
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
This is the moment my blood's flowing
I can feel it in my veins like I've been chosen
Never broken, you can't break me, I won't fold
Something's trying to swallow me up, I won't go
Don't need an omen, my mind is my own
Don't need no reason, I'm taking control
Enough time spent just wondering why
God bless the rhythm in the thundering sky
[Hook]
